"OUT OF THINE OWN MOUTH"
DRAWING THE DEADLY PARALLEL
On FARMER TILLHIAN.

Captain Tillman in his reply to m,
last letter spoke of my houndering ant
lodging and said it was funny to sec
how | about faced, etc. Leaving the
application of this language to the judg
ment of the public, | shall merely re
mark, if Captain TillmNn saw any fun il
my last letter it must have been Of n very
peculiar kind to provoke rCply il
which the compass OF his complaint,
ranged from the heavens above, which,
he claimed, would not open ana snut
when they ought to have done SO and
thus prevented his success as Il farmer,
down to the tampcring of the Gcvil, who
cnticed him i'll debt and worked financial
failure. He says [ shot whatever thcv
put III my gun, not knowing whether
1t was lead or dough, true or false.
Captain Tillman furnished nearly all of
my ammunition, and not only he but
the public will have ample ouportunity
to Judge of its truth or falsity after tie
perusal of this letter.
lie says the committee which selected
the ten names to constitute The now
board OF agriculture know how utterly
false is my assertion that he nominated
himself for one of the successors OF the
present board-that he only nominated
himself for one of the trustees OF an ap-
rcultural college. Captain Tillman docs
not positively deny the charge, only by
lndn ection, which ] do not any more
accept than the indrccton by which he
designed to wiring a double tax on guano
out OF the farmers pockets, thinking
they would not feel 1t because they did
not see It, In his speech in November,
Captain 1illman said: ".IhG control Ci
the college and bulcGu of a.riculturc
would have to be under the Sauio board"
the board of trustees, for one of Which
he nominated himself. IN his proposed
bill to establish an agricultural college
and reorganizc the agricultural bureau,
he says, i'll Section .: "Thut ID. X,
